After making sure we have cleared the last set of issues brought up for Graduation on the PPMC list, I am starting a vote to see if we are comfortable to try for graduation. For more information on the process, and criteria see: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html
This vote will serve as our community graduation vote. As we have been through this process before and have updated the resolution, if this vote passes we should be able to move to IPMC comments and then IPMC vote.
